I'm in the Navy here in San Diego, I uh, do things with computers and networks I really can't talk about here ;-)

I'm in the Air Force out here in Germany for the next few years. Pretty similar to dirtyblueshirt in that I work on computers/networks, but that's about all I can say.
You didn't happen to go to school in Pensacola, did you?
 
Nope, pretty much all of the AF's comm folks, myself included, go through Keesler in MS. I take it you did though? How was that? We had a few Navy/Marines on base, but not many.
Yeah, I re-rated in 2008 and went to Pensacola for the cryptologic technician networks schooling... the super-secret network ops stuff... we had all branches in our class, since the Navy runs the training for this stuff...
 
I do nada lol just work out from time to time lol with a top secret clearance :) and fix multi million dollars' planes :)
Meh, TS clearances are more a pain than a bragging point... re-up every five years... having to go to Pendleton for a polygraph... :rolleyes: good thing I'm good for another five now...
 
USAF aircraft electrician that's all i can say sorry
I listened to an Air Force guy on the "meet the feds" panel at this year's DEFCON in Vegas. His description of whet the Air Force did in respect to DoD networks was mostly BS (the Navy trains the other services and has a more impactive role in the process), but then again he WAS an officer... so I've taken a grain of salt to you guys :p

I say this with all love to my fellow military members :D
 
DBS,
What is your rate?
I was an ET for 5 years then an IC for 3 years.
When in Japan I worked on things I couldn't talk about either.
(Not even to myself!)
Last billet was LPO of PLAT/LENS on the KittyHawk CV63.

I'm a Crypto Tech (Networks). We're more of a bane to the IT's existence than anything... :D
 
That is what I did at NavComSta Japan (1971-1974) as an Electronics Tech. The Crypto equip I worked on was for TTY. This was State-of -the-Art then. It is all gone now. So what I know is obsolete, as am I.

I'm guessing that's now what we call NCTS Yoko?
 
I guess I should update here... I'm no longer in the Navy of course... but I'm still doing Information Security for Orange County's largest employer... And I have a cube:cool::

Considering This ceased to be over a year ago, Let me update. I do the same thing... just for a large global company making a helluva lot more than I did when I first posted this.
